Content. If your platform sucks, power users can hang around, using power tools.

This isn't so much of a problem on Twitter as much as Reddit, though. Their native experience is okay (it's just the users that are insufferable)

Sure, if the number of power users is low, not increasing, and these power users drive a lot of engagement. I suspect that at least one of the above is not true.

Also you should rethink your life if you consider yourself a Twitter/Reddit power user.

I'm not, but people can make money on those platforms nowadays, so don't be so judgmental.
